[Doc]: redirect-from directive appears broken? #21876
Description
Documentation Link
https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/
Problem
We have a number of .. redirect-from:: directives that are supposed to create a redirect html in the old location. That appears to have broken.
ie. doc/users/faq/troubleshooting_faq.rst has a .. redirect-from:: /faq/troubleshooting_faq which is supposed to make a file https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/faq/troubleshooting_faq.html that redirects to https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/faq/troubleshooting_faq.html However that file is not being created and so far as I can see no error messages are being emitted.
This is loaded from doc/sphinxext/redirect_from.py
Suggested improvement
This should be fixed

#19686 broke the redirects, as noted by #19686 (comment), but it was never followed up on.

It's working again when I'm building 3.5.0 right now (though not for the original build). Possibly this is because I did/didn't run in parallel, I don't remember exactly.

Interesting. I think you must have run in parallel, because they don't work when not running in parallel (ahem, I think)

Yes, I think you're right; looking back in my command history, it does appear to be with -j.

That seems like a good clue! (BTW< there must be a way to suppress building the API docs for testing via conf.py, but I am not sure what it is...
